National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Ali Al­Ghanim on Wednesday assured victims of deception in property transactions that he would spare no effort to bring back their embezzled money.

National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al­Ghanim was speaking at Abdullah Al­Salem Hall during a reception of a number of citizens who had been victims of realty fraud and money laundering in and outside Kuwait.

Speaker Al­Ghanim said the afflicted citizens informed him about fraudulence that cost them more than one billion dinars (USD three billion), embezzled in only five years. "I believe it is our duty as representatives of the people to share them their predicament and play our role to help and defend them," speaker Al­Ghanim has stressed.

Al­Ghanim said he agreed with his guests on "future steps," indicating that he would coordinate with the government and parliamentary committees in this respect, re­vowing that he would place all potentials in his possession at their disposal.

"It is our duty and they must be able to re­attain their rights," he re­emphasized. Meanwhile, (eng.) Hassan Al­Bahrani, head of the group of realty fraudulence victims, affirmed that the speaker assured them that he would do his best to help them.
